‘Fired up the wood stove, heated water, made stew, lit the lamps - ‘
“Dang that sounds like fun.... can one rent a room in that kind of environment?”
It is fun short term. Not so fun long term...
I could go back to it long term in a heart beat - if I could take my indoor tub, flush and PC.
Maybe make a couple barrel windmills for enough power for them...
At least, I have my little house snuggled down in the forest with a buffer between me and 'the Madding Crowd'. (All I can see out my windows is forest and sky. All I can hear is wind, rain, blizzard, great barred owls, moose, coyotes, a loon now and then, and/or the thick silence of the no-moon nights. Some things are worth more than others.)
